Re: HT Practical Test
I know this SS # requirement can be annoying and even threatening, but
it is going to be difficult to change the system which goes way back, to
at least when I was in college, grades were then and still are posted by
SS#'s rather than by name with the idea of protecting a persons
identity. We all now know that for many purposes our SS# better
identifies us than our name, but old dogs die hard. NSH/ASCP didn't
just make up this idea of asking for the SS#, they do it because the gov
requires this of them when filing taxes or giving out CEU's.
